Hi folks. I'm having real trouble upgrading on linux. I've spent several days working on it and I can't get it to work. I finally upgraded but now when I try to run desired i get the following error:
"desired: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_filesystem.so.1.54.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
I spent many hours trying to install the missing libboost package but nothing I do works. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
You might try to see if you repo has libboost version 1.54.0, ie: sudo apt-get install libboost1.54-dev
If it isn't in your repository, I would try to build desire from 0 with the latest libboost (sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev).
Thanks very much for replying to me. Unfortunately I can't seem to install libboost1.54. I always get "Package libboost1.54-dev is not available, but is referred to by another packag" "E: Package 'libboost1.54-dev' has no installation candidate". I have even tried installing manually, but that has made no difference!
I have now re-installed and complied Desire from source code 6 times, and it takes many hours each time. Every time I do that. I am getting the old version number. I have made sure every single files was deleted, but it continues to install the old version. I am about to pull all my hair out! When i replace it with the new desired, i am still getting this error "desired: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_filesystem.so.1.54.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". Does anyone have an other suggestions? it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
